Best ways to enjoy it
These Blueberry Butter Swim Biscuits can be enjoyed warm, fresh out of the oven, or at room temperature. For a delicious twist, try drizzling a bit of honey or maple syrup over each biscuit, or serve them alongside whipped cream for an added treat. They pair perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or tea, making them an excellent choice for a cozy morning or afternoon snack.
How to store & freeze
If you happen to have any leftovers, they can be easily stored. Place the cooled biscuits in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to enjoy them later, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Just make sure to let them cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
Helpful cooking tips
For the best results, be sure to only mix the batter until it’s just combined. Overmixing can yield tougher biscuits rather than light, fluffy ones. It’s also important to use fresh blueberries; they give the best flavor and texture. Additionally, feel free to play around with the sugar content based on your preference—less sugar can create a more savory biscuit that pairs well with butter.
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a citrusy kick, or try mixing in different berries or even chocolate chips for a fun variation. For a healthier option, you can substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. In the fall, consider incorporating pumpkin spice for a seasonal twist!
